Samskar varga at P.Vemballur

Sanskar-Varg is not a religious class to learn Prayers & Mantras. This class is for child’s overall  development in the early years & learning prayers/having faith is part of it. Children are taught Sanskrit prayers & there is an important  reason behind it. Sanskrit being the most ancient, systematic & logical language. Chanting Sanskrit mantras not only help child overcome stiffness of tongue but its rhythm, breathing pattern  works like a magic on different body parts. Sanskrit mantras are believed to produce vibrations & these powerful vibrations can influence our mind & body.  Along with Sanskrit Prayers, are taught them Values/Life Skills through interactive sessions, games and activities, Information about Indian customs, festivals, World famous great personalities, stories etc etc. In short Sanskar Varg is an exciting educational & informative class.  Every thought and every action leaves a subtle impression in the mind of a child as a permanent record, these are called Samskaras. It also means a cultural heritage and upbringing. That’s what Sanskar Varg does in child’s early learning. 

“You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work,especially in the case of a young and tender thing; for that is the time at which the character is being and the desired impression is more readily taken…” Plato’s Republic

This Samskar Varga is being conducted at P.Vemballur in Mridula Chechi's house for the last three four months. In all 26 children attended. Smt Padma adigal told them stories from the Bhagavata, where Sri Krishna shows His Gopikas that 'serving man is to serve God' should be part of our life. The children were taught Surya namaskar, yoga and  games were also taken. Children enjoyed! and bid goodbye to meet again in next week     

children busy in competing with each other in kridya yoga

Sri Krishna Jayanthi Celebration

Sri Krishna Jayanthi is the day when Anandadham turns into a Vrindavan. This time it fell on September 5th just after the great Kerala festival of Onam. Sri Krishna Jayanthi is the day when all our Sishuvihar mothers get transformed into Yashoda's. From morning they start dressing their children, as Sri Krishna or Radha, thereby raising themselves into Yashoda consciousness and come to enjoy a tiny drop of the true bliss of having Sri Krishna as their little child.

 

Forty children participated. Apart from Sandeepani Sishuvihar school children, there were an equal or more number of children from the neighbourhood. After the display on stage as the little Krishna’s, Gopikas and Radhas, there were solo bhajans on Sri Krishna by the children. All the mothers with their  children then went round the ‘Sri Krishna’s statue in our Vrindavan Park chanting ‘Hare Krishna. This was followed by ‘Uriyadi’ or ‘Breaking the Pot’, enjoyed by all participants. All the participating Krishnas, Radhas and the singers received their token gifts.
